Curry to have surgery : The Warriors announced on Saturday that guard Stephen Curry will undergo surgery and his injured right ankle on Wednesday. Curry, who has been sidelined since March 13 with his ankle issues, is expected to be ready for the start of the 2012-13 season. "Now is the time to do it," Warriors general manager Larry Riley said. "You don't want to get into July and August and say we should've scoped this thing." (Updated 04/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Curry's ankle still isn't heeled from when he sprained it back on march 13, which led the Warriors to make the decision for surgery. While he is expected to be fully recovered in time for next season, Fantasy owners should keep tabs on his progress throughout the summer. Despite missing 40 games due to his troublesome right foot and ankle, Curry still averaged 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals in his limited action. As long as he is healthy, Curry should be drafted somewhere in the first two rounds on Draft Day next season. (Updated 04/21/2012).

Despite being plagued by ankle injuries throughout the 2010-11 season, Stephen Curry was able to improve upon his stellar rookie season by averaging an outstanding 19-6-4 stat line over 74 games. He underwent ankle surgery in the offseason and should be 100 percent by the start of the season, but could deal with lingering ankle issues throughout his career. Curry could face some changes under new coach Mark Jackson, especially with the addition of rookie shooting guard Klay Thompson. However, Curry should continue to be featured in the offense with about 14 to 15 shots per game, including around five attempts per game from beyond the arc. He has averaged at least two 3-pointers made per game throughout his first two seasons in the NBA and is a premium shooter from the foul line. Despite his long-range game, he also offers excellent field-goal percentage and is a prominent source for steals. His only negative may be his high turnover margin, but that is not enough to knock him out of the first two rounds of most standard formats. (Updated 8/28/11)
